THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY

The Social Justice Commission and FIAT Committee would like to thank everyone involved with our 8th annual weekend of service and cookie walk. Because of your generosity in donating treasure, talent and time, over 215 SAM volunteers were able to reach 20 agencies in our community. We served kids in foster care, nursing home residents, homeless men and families, newborn babies and their moms, survivors of domestic abuse, at-risk youth and pediatric patients and their families. Thank you to all involved!

St. Angela Merici Pre-Cana Retreat

Registration is now open for St. Angela’s next Pre-Cana Retreat which will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2019. Space is limited, so register early.

Are you looking for ways to continue enriching your marriage after you’ve said “I do”? Have you thought about sharing your marriage experience with others? If so, St. Angela’s Pre-Cana ministry may be for you. Our team seeks married couples of all ages to help organize an annual retreat day for the engaged couples of our parish. We have a variety of tasks to match your interests and level of commitment.

Pre-Cana Day will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2019. Our team meets on 5-6 Sunday evenings starting in January to prepare for this special day. Consider joining us for our organizational meeting on Sunday, January 6 at 4:00 PM. All meetings are held in the Seminar Room (lower level of the church), and childcare is available. Time spent enriching the upcoming marriages of our engaged couples and our own marriages is an investment well spent.
